The masjid apologized for double-booking and is allowing us to have our reception at the mosque :)
Alhamdulillah, for one less thing to worry about!

Ambivalent...
I have been feeling really weird for the past day or so... I don't know why.
I guess I could say I'm feeling down and emotional.
This might be due to the fact that, though usually I don't like to set high expectations because that way you're bound to fail, I actually did want everything to be perfect right now.
Plus, I may have made some overrated assumptions about people and things.
So, maybe I can say, that I'm the one who set myself up to feel this way... and I'm truly hating it.
I really wanted to enjoy everything this time round because I was getting to plan my own wedding reception etc. But the excitement has died out. It might be because I'm planning it on my own... shouldn't I be feeling happier and more excited?
I might just have to attribute my feelings to stress, because I know this is sort of how I was feeling right before my official wedding this past October.
Sigh... the more plans you make on your own, the more likely you are that a few are bound to fail... C'mon I made them before anything was really official or set in stone.
Everything that I had thought up did not take into consideration the amount of people who would be attending my ceremony, who would be attending the ceremony, the fact that I've put on 20 pounds in the past few months (by the way, I'm pretty convinced that I won't fit into my reception outfit and so that'll suck too) nor had we even booked any of our tickets nor hotel reservations.
The first blow may have been that my husband and I would not be having my official 'giving away' ceremony on Thursday, which is what I had ideally wanted so that I could've had a day between that and the reception. I mean imagine... our schedule is like July 30 is when my husband and his parents arrive, July 31st is when I will be moving in with him for the first time (since we've been apart this whole time due to school), Aug 1st we have the wedding reception and the morning of Aug 2nd we're driving 11 hrs to SC where my hubby lives.
I don't even know if I'll be able to live through the day of driving... I don't know what to say about not even getting a day's break. Dude, it's not like the bride's in the best of conditions at such a time.
So, yeah, I'm kinda wishing that it was all over :(
I just wish we could be done and living together for the summer.
I don't care what anyone says... I would've loved to have at least one day to rest. Can you imagine traveling the day after the wedding?
Ugh... anyways... not like I can do anything about it.
So, yup, I'm trying to keep the stress levels down.
Ok, so I guess I should get my cynical self to end this now.
Tomorrow is the second day of summer classes and so I better get some sleep.
Peace.

Crumbling...
Today I've been feeling pretty down.
There's about 2 reasons for that...
My photographer won't be able to make it to my event (she is a friend/my ex-photography teacher) on August 1st.
The venue that we finally got, we found out, had double booked and so now we may, again, not have a venue!
What's worse this time around is that we already printed the reception invites with the venue and date of the event on them! :(
'Innama al-usri yusri'... After hardship there is ease... and I do have faith in Allah, but I guess I need to have more and get myself to relax instead of stress.
I mean I am so frustrated that I don't even care for a big reception... Can someone just give me a plane ticket to SC?!?
Peace out.

Passed = )
Alhamdulillah & yippee!
We passed my husband's greencard interview :D Insha'Allah he should have his temporary greencard in a few weeks, we are very excited... especially because a few months of stressing is finally now over and subhaanAllah! it almost feels too good to be true.
We were in the interview office for only 15 minutes.
Our interview time was 1p.m. on June 1st and we ended up getting stuck in dreadful traffic and taking a wrong exit at around 12:50 and so both of us were nervous thinking that there was no way we could make in on time since there were still quite a few miles left. Well so I just started praying to Allah that we would make it even at least 3 minutes before time, by His mercy.
Haha... we made it 2 minutes before time and just ran to the building!!! and alhamdulillah we signed-in exactly at 1 p.m.! :D
Allah is definitely merciful.
So yeah, I had an awesome 4 day trip in Myrtle Beach & got back home last night & I've been missing my hubby like crazy.
I started tearing up while telling my cousin about my trip. *Sigh* the distances are gonna be tough :(
We have 2 more months before we see each other again for a month-and-a-half and then after that we'll be apart for maybe another 3 or so, until I move to SC permanently insha'Allah.
This was the first time that my hubby & I actually got to spend so much time together and we were alone so it really finally felt like we were a family, in a strange way of course.
Anyhow, it's late & so I better go & sleep.
The roses Adnan brought to the airport, when he came to pick me up! Masha'Allah.
I was blushing due to all of the attention at the airport, because many people were smiling as they walked by!
